The specific cookies and technologies used will depend on the Consumer touchpoint in question. To learn about the cookies (including Google analytics cookies) and similar technologies used on a touchpoint, including how you can accept or refuse cookies, please see the cookie notice made available on or through that touchpoint.

Where permitted by law, we may acquire information about you from third parties.

For what purposes do we use information about you, and on what legal basis?

In this section, we describe the purposes for which we use personal information. However, this is a global notice, and where the laws of a country restrict or prohibit certain activities described in this notice, we will not use information about you for those purposes in that country.

  • compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject;

  • the performance of a contract to which you are a party;

  • a legitimate business interest that is not overridden by interests you have to protect the information;

  • where none of the above applies, or where law requires it, your consent (which we will ask for before we process the information).

The purposes for which we use information about you, with corresponding methods of collection and legal basis for use, are:

Purpose

Method of collection and legal basis for Processing

Who do we share your information with, and for what purposes?

We may share information about you with:

  • PMI affiliates;

  • third parties who provide Emerald, PMI affiliates or you with products or services;

  • Emerald’s or PMI affiliates’ carefully selected business partners and advertisers (in areas connected with our products, or consistent with their style and image) so that they can contact you with offers that they think may interest you, in accordance with your preferences; and

  • other third parties, where required or permitted by law.

We share information about you with others only in accordance with applicable laws. Thus, where law requires your consent, we will first ask for it.

Sharing data with PMI affiliates

  • Information about you will be shared with Philip Morris Products S.A. (based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland), which is the place of central administration of personal data processing for PMI affiliates. Philip Morris Products S.A. processes the information about you for all the purposes described in this notice.

  • Information about you may be shared with the PMI affiliate that is responsible for the country in which you live (if it wasn’t the PMI affiliate that first collected the information) for all the purposes described in this notice.

  • Information about you may be shared with any other PMI affiliate that you contact (for example, if you travel and you want to know where to buy PMI products in a new country, or where to find service or support for PMI products) in order to enhance our service to you.

Details of PMI affiliates and the countries in which they are established are available here.

Sharing data with Third Parties

  • To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may share information about you with third parties who provide Emerald, PMI affiliates or you with products or services (such as advisers, payment service providers, delivery providers, retailers, product coaches, information services providers and age verification providers).

  • To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may share information about you with Emerald’s and/or PMI affiliates’ carefully-selected third party business partners and advertisers (in line with the kind of thing you might associate with our products, for example because they have similar or complementary image, style, or functionality) so that they can contact you with products, services and promotions that they think may interest you, in accordance with your preferences.

  • We may share information about you with other third parties, where required or permitted by law, for example: regulatory authorities; government departments; in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials; when we consider disclosure to be necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; and in the context of organizational restructuring.

Where might information about you be sent?

As with any multinational organization, PMI affiliates transfer information globally once shared with PMI affiliates. Accordingly, information about you may be transferred globally (for example, if you are in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), your information may be transferred outside the EEA).

When using information as described in this notice, information about you may be transferred either within or outside the country or territory where it was collected, including to a country or territory that may not have equivalent data protection standards.

For example, if you contact our call centre situated in Turkey, a recording of the call will be made (including details of your enquiry and our response) and it will be retained while it remains relevant to our relationship. Therefore, by you consenting to your information being processed in accordance with this Consumer Privacy Notice, you consent to certain information being processed and stored in Turkey.

In all cases, appropriate security measures for the protection of personal information will be applied in those countries or territories, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

How do we protect information about you?

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information that we hold from unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration or destruction. Where appropriate, we use encryption and other technologies that can assist in securing the information you provide. We also require our service providers to comply with strict data privacy and security requirements.

How long will information about you be kept?

We will retain information about you for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected. After that, we will delete it. The period will vary depending on the purposes for which the information was collected. Note that in some circumstances, you have the right to request us to delete the information. Also, we are sometimes legally obliged to retain the information, for example, for tax and accounting purposes.

Typically, we retain data based on the criteria described in the table below:

Type

Explanation/typical retention criteria

  • marketing to you (including product communications) (if you use digital touchpoints and are contactable)

Most of the information in your marketing profile is kept for the duration of our marketing relationship with you; for example, while you continue to use digital touchpoints, or respond to our communications. However, some elements of your marketing profile, such as records of how we interact with you, naturally go out of date after a period of time, so we delete them automatically after defined periods (typically 3 years) as appropriate for the purpose for which we collected them.

  • marketing to you (including product communications) (if you are no longer in contact with us)

This scenario is the same as the above, but if we don’t have any contact with you for a long period (typically 2 years), we will stop sending you product communications and delete your history of responses to them. This will happen, for example, if you never click through to an invitation to an event, log on to a digital touchpoint, or contact customer care, during that time. The reason is that in these circumstances, we assume you would prefer not to receive the communications.

  • marketing to you (including product communications) (if you are not contactable)

If you have registered to receive product communications, but the information you give us to contact you doesn’t work, we will retain your details for a period of typically only 6 months to allow you to return and correct it.

  • marketing to you (including product communications) (incomplete registrations)

If you commence registering yourself in a database, but do not complete the process (for example, if you don’t complete the age verification process, or you don’t accept the touchpoint’s terms of use), we will retain your details for only 6 months to allow you to return and complete the process.

  • market research

If you are not registered with us for other purposes (e.g. product communications, warranty, customer care), and we use publicly available information about you in order to understand the market or your preferences, we will retain the information about you for a short period in order to perform the particular item of market research.

  • purchases and warranty

If you purchase goods, we will retain details of this for so long as required to complete the sale, and to comply with any legal obligations (for example, for tax and accounting record-keeping purposes). If you also register for a warranty for a device, we will retain details of this for so long as relevant to the warranty.

  • customer care

If you contact customer care, we will make a record of the matter (including details of your enquiry and our response) and retain it while it remains relevant to our relationship, for example if you need us to replace a device under warranty, or if your recent enquiries are relevant. Temporary records (for example, an automated recording of a telephone call in which you ask us to direct you to a retail outlet) may be relevant only until more permanent records are made, and will be retained only temporarily.

  • system audit logs

System audit logs are retained typically for a period of only a few months.

  • business analytics

Business analytics data is typically collected automatically when you use Consumer touchpoints and anonymised/aggregated shortly afterwards.

What rights and options do you have?

You may have some or all of the following rights  in respect of information about you that we hold:

  • request us to give you access to it;

  • request us to rectify it, update it, or erase it;

  • request us to restrict our using it, in certain circumstances;

  • object to our using it, in certain circumstances;

  • withdraw your consent to our using it;

  • data portability, in certain circumstances;

  • opt out from our using it for direct marketing; and

  • lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country (if there is one).

We offer you easy ways to exercise these rights, such as “unsubscribe” links, or through our contact address provided for on the website.

Right in respect of the information about you that we hold

Further detail (note: certain legal limits to all these rights apply)

  • to request us to give you access to it

This is confirmation of:

  • whether or not we process information about you;

  • our name and contact details;

  • the purpose of the processing;

  • the categories of information concerned;

  • the categories of persons with whom we share the information and, where any person is outside the EEA and does not benefit from a European Commission adequacy decision, the appropriate safeguards for protecting the information;

  • (if we have it) the source of the information, if we did not collect it from you;

  • (to the extent we do any, which will have been brought to your attention) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you, or significantly affects you in a similar way, and information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for you; and

  • the criteria for determining the period for which we will store the information.

On your request we will provide you with a copy of the information about you that we use (provided this does not affect the rights and freedoms of others).

  • to request us to rectify or update it

This applies if the information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete.

  • to request us to erase it

This applies if:

  • the information we hold is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which we use it;

  • we use the information on the basis of your consent and you withdraw your consent (in this case, we will remember not to contact you again, unless you tell us you want us to delete all information about you in which case we will respect your wishes);

  • we use the information on the basis of legitimate interest and we find that, following your objection, we do not have an overriding interest in continuing to use it;

  • the information was unlawfully obtained or used; or

  • to comply with a legal obligation.

  • to request us to restrict our processing of it

This right applies, temporarily while we look into your case, if you:

  • contest the accuracy of the information we use; or

  • have objected to our using the information on the basis of legitimate interest

(if you make use of your right in these cases, we will tell you before we use the information again).

This right applies also if:

  • our use is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the data; or

  • we no longer need the data, but you require it to establish a legal case.

  • to object to our processing it

You have two rights here:

  1. if we use information about you for direct marketing: you can “opt out” (without the need to justify it) and we will comply with your request; and

  2. if we use the information about you on the basis of legitimate interest for purposes other than direct marketing, you can object to our using it for those purposes, giving an explanation of your particular situation, and we will consider your objection.

  • to withdraw your consent to our using it

This applies if the legal basis on which we use the information about you is your consent. These cases will be clear from the context.

  • to data portability

If:

  1. you have provided data to us; and

  2. we use that data, by automated means, and on the basis either of your consent, or on the basis of discharging our contractual obligations to you,

then you have the right to receive the data back from us in a commonly used format, and the right to require us to transmit the data to someone else if it is technically feasible for us to do so.

  • to lodge a complaint with the concerned authority in the Kingdom of Bahrain

Please consult the website of your country’s authority, if any.

Who should you contact with questions?

If you have any questions, or wish to exercise any of your rights, you can send an email to contact.bh@iqos.com.
